ricktofens loss of power?

[undeadarcademachine]

ok eddy spent his time getting the Vrill-generator + a shrunken 115 meteor in it and powerd it up with the casmer effect. which shuld give him unlimited 115 energy right?

so why is his voice no longer powerfull like samanthas? his voice was powerfull on moon.

is it B/C maxis blew up the earth?

is it B/C maxis took away the "black egg" a vrill artifact & sent it to earth or blew it up with earth?

and if he needs the help of the new crew why dose he try to kill them? is he not realy in control of the zombies?

samantha said there is somthing more darker then him in there & now samule is hearing ricktofen & a demonic voice in his head (if the demonic voice is not also ricktofen who is it)

(vital energy flows through all things living and dead, my power to manipulat this energy is very limited, that is why i need your help--Ricktofen) if this is just his power "limited" how much more powerful can he acutely become?

ricktofen said he wants to heal the planet to play with it, if he wants to heal it what dose maxis want to do to it?

and if they can travel through time why dosent ricktofen not just send the new crew back in time to stop the old crew? or maxis to do somthing similar to stop eddy from getting in power or his misscalculations from blowing up the earth?

Everytime you help Maxis, you generally lessen Richtofen's amount of power. His voice is much heavier and more sinister in Moon because...well, it was the finale of Black Ops. Nevertheless, we can easily suggest that over the time span since the missiles impacting Earth, he has been continuously losing power. This is why he is still trying to form factions in creating human-made energy transmitters so he could obtain more power (radio broadcasts in Tranzit).

There is indeed some kind of dark presence lurking inside the Aether and/or MPD as Samantha claims. What this power is, I am not entirely certain. It could possibly be the remnants of the ancient Vril-ya, or something else. Richtofen used to hear these voices telling him what to do, and it might still be occurring now that he's in control.

The power obtained by doing the Side Quests could give him so much power, that he can restore the Earth back to its original state like he claims he will, only to plague it once more. This kind of power is beyond what even Samantha could obtain. It might even mean distorting time and free will, or perhaps re-creating history to he sees fit.

Maxis, on the other hand, has a different agenda. Does he truly want to restore the world back to normal, or does he actually use it as a scapegoat so once the energy is transmitted to him, he can gain revenge on Richtofen by removing and destroying him, only so he could be Aether's new landlord? Only time will tell. I can guarantee you that he will eventually become mad with power.

If Richtofen does indeed have the power to bend time, it would only be in a brief gap. In this case, the time span that the new crew was in Great Leap Forward could have been anywhere from a couple of minutes to a few hours. Just as you said, his powers are quite limited and he can only distort the time flow just by a bit. Now that's given if Richtofen has to power to alter time. If he doesn't, then we could only imagine that there is some other event going on that we have yet to fully determine.
